In 1948, the planned formation of West Germany from the British, French, and US occupation zones left Berlin, which was also divided, deep within the Soviet zone (this eventually formed East Germany). The USSR cut off ground transportation to the city on June 24, 1948, presumably to pressure the West to grant concessions. Instead, a massive airlift was established and the blockade was lifted in May, 1949. Berlin citizens had voted overwhelmingly against the communists in the 1946 election, and only the efforts of the West kept the city in the hands of its elected officials. In 1961, the Soviet zone was walled off by the Berlin Wall, which separated the city until October 3, 1990.
